No lobbying action called at this time, but Friday, a West Virginia House Bill, HB4216 that would add aviation activities on private land, was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. The status can be seen here:

The text of the bill here:

Local pilot and Delegate, Mike Folk is the lead sponsor and he was able to get 10 co-sponsors. He used the info from the RAF links I gave him. Also I gave him links to the West Virginia OBP fall 2012 tour videos! Hope he showed them to some of his fellow delegates so they could get the flavor of aircraft use of and camping on WV "backcountry" private airstrips. I think he will have to get someone in the WV Senate to introduce one on their side as well. He knows a pilot senator.
Notice that Farms were added along with Private airstrips! Well lets hope for the best.
